BECAUSE IT'S MINE!"<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AYtUQSpvh5I/RcZduZpCIOI/AAAAAAAAAGY/KyP0UjCsa2I/s1600-h/Wired_VSD5237.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5027809085744095458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AYtUQSpvh5I/RcZduZpCIOI/AAAAAAAAAGY/KyP0UjCsa2I/s200/Wired_VSD5237.jpg" border="0" /></a> Thanks to the one and only Filmpac, here's the soundtrack for the infamous John Belushi biopic, 1989's "Wired," based on (but, as the final product, doesn't have to do with) the much-scrutinized bestseller by Bob Woodward. Boycotted by Belushi's friends and family due to it's unflattering portrayal of him as a drug-abusing bully (and maybe in part due to the unconventional method used to tell his story), the film died a quick death at the box-office while the critics savaged everything about it but one thing: the man who played Belushi did a damn good job, and this man was a complete unknown named... Michael Chiklis.<br /><br />Yes, the man who plays Vic Mackey on "The Shield" and played The Thing in the recent "Fantastic Four" movie plays Belushi (his first role, as a matter of fact).<br /><br />We open on the night of March 5, 1982 as a morgue attendant wheels in a gurney with a bagged body on it. After the attendant leaves for the night, the body unzips the bag from the inside and rises. John Belushi, completely freaked out, covers himself in a sheet and runs out of the morgue. Flagging down a cab driven by Angel (Ray Sharkey), he's taken on a tour of his past that can only be described as "It's a Miserable Life." Angel is John's guardian angel ("You sure fucked up." John says), and he wants to show him what drugs did to his life before he gets him to cross over.<br /><br />Meanwhile, Belushi's widow, Judy (Lucinda Jenney) asks Bob Woodward (J.T. Walsh), who John very much wanted to meet due to his work on "All the President's Men," to write a biography of his life and to figure out why he went to drugs. Among the people Woodward meets is Cathy Smith (Patti D'arbanville in an excellent performance), the woman who administered the drug overdose that killed John.<br /><br />While the movie may not have been great, the soundtrack fared much better. Chiklis could sing, which was required for the scenes that had Chiklis and Gary Groomes (who played Dan Aykroyd) doing their Blues Brothers act. There's also "Still Looking for a Way to Say Goodbye," performed by Richie Havens, which did tear me up, Joe Strummer's "Love Kills," Chiklis singing "You Are So Beautiful," accompanied by the late Billy Preston, The Ventures performing "Two Thousand Pund Bee," a piece by Brian Francis Neary, and three selections of the great score by the late Basil Poledouris (the highlight of the three is the beautiful "Eulogy."). It's a great soundtrack. Download and enjoy.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. I'm a King Bee - Michael Chiklis and the Wired Band (02:54)<br />2. 634-5789 - Michael Chiklis and the Wired Band (02:55)<br />3. I Can't Turn You Loose - The Wired Band (00:26)<br />4.

Thanks to legal wrangkes and the bankruptcy of the distributor, you haven't seen this film in theaters, on TV, or on video for the past 25 years until Synapse Films ironed all that out and released it on DVD. It's worth every penny.<br /><br />Dom (Joe Pilato) is a cameraman sent to work with coldhearted director Lacey Bickle (John Harrison) and his crew on the set of a cheap slasher film. He falls for Celeste (Susan Chapek), his grip and actress, and gets on well with the crew, but something, to him, doesn't feel right about Lacey, and his suspicions lead him to uncover a secret that has the cast and crew in mortal danger. You want to find out what it is? Watch the film and see...<br /><br />John Harrison's music is great, as always, and this ranks right up there with "Creepshow." Download and enjoy.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. Main Title (03:06)<br />2. Man In The Mirror (00:16)<br />3. Lacey Checks The Cameras (01:34)<br />4. Celeste Does Shakespeare / Rita Gets Yanked (01:26)<br />5. Special Effects (00:31)<br />6. Radio Jingles (01:58)<br />7. Barney’s Dream (01:24)<br />8. I Need Your Love (02:51)<br />9.

Many, many fine blogs have been hit, many just carrying OOP music. As Ozzy in "Bad Taste" exclaimed, "the bastards have landed!" Not only is it the douchebags from the MPAA and RIAA, it's also douchebag collectors. They can't sell their OOP albums at their already overinflated prices while they can be obtained for free, so they rat us out to the upload sites, and they either take our files down, or rat to Blogger and have our blogs shut down. Then, they can (in theory) keep sellign their goods for the price of a car payment. However, they don't stop to think that the people who downloaded the files can just re-up them. They're fighting a battle they can't possibly win unless they shut down the internet (and Al Gore won'tlet THAT happen, now will he?).<br /><br />On that note, keep trying. We're like the giant killer bunny rabbits in "Night of the Lepus." You kill one of us, and a thousand others will come to take our place. We Bloggers stand united against your tyranny. You kill a file, it'll be re-upped in hours or minutes. You kill a blog, we'll just create a new one and keep sharing. We sharers are family, from the patriarch, right down to the brother's cousin's uncle's sister twice removed. We help our own when their files are killed or their blog suffers the same fate. And also, don't you aassholes realize that sharing music gets people interested in buying the CDs? A lot of albums that have been shared (barring very inflated prices on OOP ones) I have sought out and collected. So go on, keep on trying. You'll never win this battle. We sharers are a crafty bunch, and we wouldn't have it any other way.<br /><br />So there.Detective Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14006646400045263278noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35455101.post-61514892099436170972007-01-21T19:38:00.000-08:002007-01-21T20:47:59.252-08:00A treat for fans of Z-grade cinema.<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AYtUQSpvh5I/RbQzIcccTGI/AAAAAAAAAGA/bhMUVp23S58/s1600-h/wildguitar.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5022695704592403554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AYtUQSpvh5I/RbQzIcccTGI/AAAAAAAAAGA/bhMUVp23S58/s200/wildguitar.JPG" border="0" /></a> Yes, it's happened. They've compiled an album of songs by the one-and-only Arch Hall, Jr. Mostfamous for appearing in turkeys "Wild Guitar" and "Eegah," Arch has become a legend in bad acting and bad singing. I may be tone deaf, but I don't find him terrible (now Ashlee Simpsosn, eggghhhh....). For those who love his Z-grade exploits, here's "Arch Hall Jr. and the Archers: Wild Guitar!" Not only do we get songs from the one and only's films, we also get dialogue clips from his films, as well as a recording of a concert that The Archers did at a drive-in to promote "Wild Guitar." It's actually a great listen. Enjoy! Special thanks go to Vinnie Rattolle for finding this. I owe you big.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. The Sadist (dialogue)<br />2. Dune Buggy<br />3.

With a totally moronic plot, an incoherent script, bad acting, and the cheapest monster costume design of the 90s, this is a triumph of comedy, even if it wasn't meant to be one. WHen young Joshua (Michael Stephenson) learns that his family is headed on vacation to the town of Nilbog as part of an exchange of houses for one month, he's ecstatic at first, but he soon learns from the ghost of his Grandpa Seth (Robert Ormsby) that the town is the kingdom of goblins (not TROLLS as the title would make you believe), and that his family is next on the chopping block by the evil Goblin Queen (Deborah Reed) for goblin chow. Now he must try to save his family at any cost (even pissing on the dinner table when Grandpa Seth freezes his family to prevent them eating Nilbog food). The food in Nilbog will, if you eat enough of it, trun you into a half-man, half-plant: their favorite food. Also next in line to become goblin chow are Michael's sister's boyfriend and his moronic friends.<br /><br />At least the music was somewhat good, despite the cheap MIDI-sounding synthesizer they used. Download and enjoy, and I highly reccomend seeing the movie. It's one of the best comedies ever. As a note, this was a DVD rip from the end credits, which was basically the same music as the main titles, sans sound effects.<br /><a id="downloadhref" href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL3E2SIE" target="_blank"><br /></a><a href="http://www.sendspace.com/file/vlglgg">http://www.sendspace.com/file/vlglgg</a>Detective Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14006646400045263278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35455101.post-6933059287906286692007-01-16T19:33:00.000-08:002007-02-19T22:00:29.066-08:00"You're not trying to draw a psycho pension!

You know the plot: aging, edge of retirement cop Roger Murtaugh (Danny Glover) is paired with psycho, reckless cop Martin Riggs (Mel Gibson), who has gained a death wish ever since the death of his wife in an auto accident (it's elaborated on more in the first sequel, but I don't want to spoil that for you). The two wind up having to tackle a drug smuggling operation headed by a general (Mitch Ryan)and his right-hand man (Gary Busey), and in which Roger's old Vietnam buddy (Tom Atkins) is reluctantly involved in.<br /><br />This prototype of the buddy-cop genre is the first and the best. With a sax-heavy score (sax performed by David Sanborn) to back it uip, it gave it the edge to show that it was something different (at the time). Download and enjoy.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. Meet Martin Riggs (05:19)<br />2. Amanda (03:05)<br />3. Suicide Attempt (02:21)<br />4. The Jumper/Rog &amp; Riggs Confrontation (06:16)<br />5. Roger (03:59)<br />6. Coke Deal (04:16)<br />7.

This partially fills my request (I'd like the entire album, though). This contains the three tracks of score on the album. The tracks are (in suite order): "Eulogy," "The Choice," and "Angel of Death." You will get a plot summary and album cover once the album is uploaded and in my possession. Enjoy the suite (especially the beautiful "Eulogy.")!<br /><div><a id="downloadhref" href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VTHFT5SX" target="_blank"><br />http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VTHFT5SX</a></div>Detective Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14006646400045263278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35455101.post-80049424881526785062007-01-04T17:49:00.000-08:002007-01-04T18:10:17.736-08:00"See you in hell."

The plot is simple: Retired CIA agent Matt Hunter (Norris, who also co-scripted) faces off against a Russian terrorist (Richard Lynch, the go-to guy for low budget villains) and his troops who are attempting an invasion of the USA, starting with Hunter's home of Miami. You have a shootout in a shopping mall, you have car chases, and a great performance by Lynch. You also have great one-liners (a good one was used for the post's title). Plus, you get to see Chuck kick a lot of ass.<br /><br />Chattaway provides a nice action score in the vein of Rambo, and is a pretty nice, exciting listen. For some reason, the first four tracks were combined into one, so this tracklisting is a bit inaccurate for those who own the original vinyl. Download and enjoy!<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. Main Title/Kidnap Chase/Airboat Armada/Night Drive<br />2. Matt to the Rescue<br />3. John Eagle's Farewell<br />4. The Invasion<br />5. Matt's Decision<br />6. Tanks in Atlanta<br />7.

Chuck Norris and Lousi Gossett, Jr. play Max Donigan and Leo Porter, a pair of down-and-out adventurers. With a treasure map provided by Patricia Goodwin (Melody Anderson), who has hired them, they go on a Aztec/Mayan (they are used interchangeably throughout the film)treasure hunt but have to face a multitude of obstacles on their way to wealth, including El Coyote (Sonny Landham), the titular "Firewalker," who's also after the treasure and has magical powers to back himself up.<br /><br />This was an LP-only release from Varses Sarabande. Gary Chang provides an adventure score that (unlike how the film looks) is not very influenced by Indiana Jones. It's a pretty nice synth score, and it comes with the Detective's seal of approval.

A nebbish Washington D.C. teacher (Robert Townsend, who also wrote and directed) is struck by a meteor one night and gains some amazing powers: he can absorb the information in any book (for 30 seconds), he can fly (but only four feet off the ground, as he's scared of heights), he can shoot ray beams out of his eyes, he can control things with psychokinetic powers, he can talk with dogs and understand them, and he has incredible strength and the power to heal. He's bulletproof and harder than steel. He can move fast enough to catch bullets. He sets to work on cleaning up his neighborhood but faces opposition by the leader of a gang called the Golden Lords (Roy Fegan) and a mobster (Frank Gorshin). He also has to deal with what happens when he starts to lose his powers due to the meteor in his system dissipating.<br /><br />A nice blend of comedic themes and dark cues (for the action and drama scenes), this score is recomended for fans of Eidelman's score for "Star Trek VI" and fans of superhero scores in general.

It also functions as a soundtrack to its predcessor "It;s Alive," as all of Herrmann's contribution is the music from the first (the sequel was made two years after his death). Frank Davis (John P. Ryan), the father of the mutant babyfrom the first film, has joined an underground movement to try and save the mutant killer babies from a government operation to exterminate them on sight. He warns Eugene and Jody Scott (Frederic Forrest and Kathleen Lloyd) that they will have one of the creatures, but they don;t believe his theory or the fact that the police will be there to make sure her baby won't surivive. When all of this comes true, Frank comes to the rescue by getting her out of the hospotal and into a mobile operating room (located in the back of a truck). Her baby is taken to a makeshift nursery in what used to be a school, and placed with two other mutant babies in an effort to study them and learn from them, as they may be the next stage of human evolution. However, all hell breaks loose when the police locate the nursery, and when the babies escape...<br /><br />It's a Bernard Herrmann score. Need I say more? Get it now!<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1.

Picking up from where the first movie ended, we find that Jobe Smith (Matt Frewer), a former retard that was made smarter through VR, has survived the VSI explosion (completely negating the end of the first movie) and has been rescued by the shady Virtual Light Institute. Jump to the future when the organization wants Jobe to create a chip that would link every computer in the world up to one netwrok and would give the head, Johnathan Walker (Kevin Conway) total control, using the research of disgraced scientist Dr. Benjamin Trace (Patrick Bergin). Trace stopped work based on the possibility of the chip's use for evil, and was taken to court for the license (he lost, by the way). However, Jobe has his own plans for the chip, and it's up to Trace and a group of young hackers led by Jobe's former friend Peter Parkette (Austin O'Brien) to stop Jobe, and this somehow involves a cyberspace swordfight (yes, you read me right) between Trace and Jobe.<br /><br />Robert Folk's score is considered by many to be the only good thing about the movie, and it is good, especially the final track. Enjoy it, even if you hated the movie.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. Main Title (04:16)<br />2. The City (02:49)<br />3. Kids In Cyberspace (03:36)<br />4. Virtual Light Tour (03:04)<br />5.

She makes an admirable attempt at country singing, but we now know why she didn't bother making it a regular part of her repartee.<br /><br />"You Made Me Love You" is a cover of the 40s classic played when Danny McGuire has a flashback to the 40s, his time in the armed forces and when he first met Newton-John's character. She sings this too, and does a great job.<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5012709031863323730" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_AYtUQSpvh5I/RZC4TlabDFI/AAAAAAAAADk/Gr72tfSpZ8I/s200/xanadu2.bmp" border="0" /><br /><br />When I got my new record player, after I ripped "Dead Heat," I decided to rip this one for all those who don't have these and want to have a somewhat more complete "Xanadu" soundtrack, and for fans of Olivia Newton-John in general.

Thanks to that, I was finally able to fufill my own request for a rip of Ernest Troost's score for the 1988 buddy-cop/Zombie film "Dead Heat," which I had on vinyl but couldn't rip until this came along.<br /><br />Roger Mortis (Treat Williams) and Doug Bigelow (Joe Piscopo) are a pair of cops who run into a strain of robbers who can't be killed with bullets. When a drug that acts as a preservant for corpses is found on them (along with the fact that the coroner had seen them before when she vivisected them), the trail leads to Dante Pharmaceuticals, where Doug discovers a strange machine - and an ugly biker zombie guarding it. The ensuing scuffle sends Roger into an espyhixiation room used to humanely kill dogs for testing purposes, and Roger is suffocated when a black-gloved man switches the room on. Doug and the coroner (Clare Kirkconnel), Roger's ex, discover that the machine can bring people back to life, so they throw Roger on it. When they discover that the re-animted corpses have a 12-hour lifetime before they completely decompose, Roger, Doug, and the daughter (Lindsay Frost) of a deceased billionaire (Vincent Price) who's tied up in it somehow must find out who Roger's killer is before he becomes worm food.<br /><br />Troost composes a very nice score that bounces between pulse-pounding action to drama with the senses of death and resurrection. As a bonus, I included a DVD rip of the movie's theme song, "Dead Heat," which wasn't included on the LP. I know the music sounds less than CD quality, and if anyone can remaster it, you will get my thanks and credit on the ensuing re-post. Enjoy!<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. Main Titles (01:32)<br />2.

Hey, at least it's not a Marilyn Manson Christmas album (you may shudder.... now.). Since this isn't a soundtrack post, this will be relatively short. The music is actually quite gopod, with only one track being noticeably dated ("Funky, Funky Xmas") but the rest is pretty good Christmas music. How does a straight guy like me know about this? My sister was a huge NKOTB fanatic back in 1990, and she got this. We listened to this every year before we lost the cassette. It was a memorable album for me, and to me, it still holds up. Spread a little Christmas cheer with this one.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. This One's for the Children<br />2. Last Night I Saw Santa Claus<br />3. I'll Be Missin' You Come Christmas (A Letter to Santa)<br />4. I Still Believe in Santa Claus<br />5. Merry, Merry Christmas<br />6. Christmas Song<br />7. Funky, Funky, Xmas<br />8. White Christmas<br />9. Little Drummer Boy<br />10. This One's for the Children (Reprise)<br /><br /><a href="http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KQZNVXG2">http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KQZNVXG2</a><br /><br />Update: SOrry, but I won't be able to do part two, which was a compilatyion album, as I didn't have a lot of christmas music in my collection. Maybe next year.</div>Detective Mitchellhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14006646400045263278noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35455101.post-24475870136288209072006-12-20T22:02:00.000-08:002006-12-20T22:31:38.501-08:00"Okay, what did you do to this?"

I have never seen the movie myself, but here is a plot that I've managed to scrounge up from various resources: When a group of three women (Deborah Pratt, Aleisa Shirley, and Cali Timmins) are forced to do an emergency landing on a planet ravaged with a deadly virus, they are captured by the evil dictator Overdog (Michael Ironside). Adventurer Wolff (Peter Strauss) goes to rescue them, and meets up with young Niki the Twister (Molly Ringwald?!), the survivor of an Earth expedition. Pooling their resources, Wolff and Niki set out to rescue the women and topple the evil Overdog's empire.<br /><br />Even though the movie was reportedly below A-list quality, the score by Elmer Bernstein proves that he gives it his all even when the movie is below par for him. Good action score. Listen and enjoy.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1. Main Title (04:18)<br />2. Girls And Scavs (00:56)<br />3. Wolff (00:45)<br />4. History and Landing (04:23)<br />5.

Two smugglers on the run (Marjoe Gortner and the delectable Caroline Munro) are approached, along with two policemen (Robert Tessier and Judd Hamilton [whose robot character is voiced by cartoon vet Hamilton Camp]), by the Emperor of the Universe (Christopher Plummer, who probably had to make rent) to seek out the three parts of a destroyed spaceship, as one of the planets that house a part could hide the most dangerous weapon the galaxy has ever known: it causes the mind to see monsters (or, to the casual viewer, blobs that look like what happens if you unscrewed the top of a lava lamp and the wax flew out). Constructed by the evil, scenery-chewing Count Zarth Arn (Joe Spinell), he plans to unleash it on the emeperor's planet in order to drive everyone into insanity and allow him to take over. They must also find the emperor's son, Prince Simon (David Hasselhoff), who was the captain of the ship.<br /><br />Released as an LP in almost every other country than the US, it was given a CD release by Silva Screen as bonus tracks for their release of Barry's "Until September." That release was eventually bootlegged. It's a good score that isn't cheesy like it's film source (but the film is enjoyable on it's own merits). Barry proves why he was the go-to guy for Bond scores with the action-packed score for the movie. It's worth a listen.<br /><br />For more information on this cheese classic, here's the ultimate Starcrash fansite: <a href="http://www.pachanko.com/starcrash/">http://www.pachanko.com/starcrash/</a><br /><br /><br />1.

It's the story of mob bagman Tommy Spinelli (Joe Pesci), who has one last assignment before he retires: bring the heads of eight men from rival gangs to mob boss Big Sep (Howard George) as proof of their deaths. His bag winds up checked because it exceeds the legal length for bags to be stowed in the overhead compartment, and it gets switched with a Mexico-bound med student's (Andy Comeau) identical duffel bag. While the med student tries to hide the bag's horrific contents from his girlfriend (Kristy Swanson) and her parents (George Hamilton and Dyan Cannon), Tommy finds the med student's roomates (David Spade and Todd Louiso) and coerces them into helping him find replacement heads.<br /><br />Gross delivers a very mabo and tango inspired score, which isn't a bad thing. For some reason, track 24 does not extract for some reason, so if filmpac can fix that it would be great. Enjoy the album, and I'll re-up it when I get the missing track.<br /><br />Tracks:<br />1.
